A Jewish man had married a Christian. She requested his burial in a Christian cemetery. After she later emigrated, his relatives applied for his exhumation, and reburial in a Jewish cemetery. The delay was excused because it had been out of deference to the widow’s wishes, and the two faiths were similar enough for the re-interment to be allowed a faculty, even though the new burial would not be in consecrated ground.
